skers69:In a strange way I understand the anger. Who among us has not come home from power drinking looking forward to the last of the cookies and milk only to find them gone.

That's a killing.

This.

Never take the last of anything unless it is yours. Do people not know THE RULE OF THE LAST ONE?

Every time I've lived with someone else this is the one of the first things I communcate. It will stop a lot of problems. You never know when your housemates are going to have a crappy day. The only thing they had keeping them going through that crappy day was that beer/twinkie/apple/cookie. And then... No muthafarking cookie!

big pig peaches:Say what you want about foodies, but you never read a story about someone strangling someone else over eating the last double chocolate chunk seasalt caramel, expresso dusted zucchini cookie.

bunner:I know it's just some schmuck and an isolated incident, as it were, but we seem to be up to our tits in these sort of incidents, lately. People willing to go knives slashing over the silliest sh*t.

I think a lot of people are just over everything, and ready to snap 24/7.

praxis44241:Chips Ahoys are only worth killing for if you put just a little pat of butter on top and microwave them for about ten seconds. Add to that a nice cup of 8 O'clock coffee, and redrum is on, biatches!

A 49-year-old woman and her husband of indeterminate age have, rooming with them, a 23-year-old psychopath, in a rental? What landlord would allow that, first off, and, even if you have a landlord that allows that, why in the hell would you rent to a friggin' twenty-something? Half of them are nuts these days, and the other half can't spell "nuts."

They have the temerity to be surprised at the reaction of a twenty-something who, most likely tired of watching this couple steal his damned food, gave her the proverbial last warning - to which, we expect, she laughed at him (hence the joke bit in the article) and walked off?

mainstreet62:Ambivalence: Jeez if you're going to threaten to kill someone over cookies, at least make them be over GOOD cookies. Chips Ahoy is like the velveeta of chocolate chip cookies.

You shut your whole mouth!

Yes, homemade are best, but Chips Ahoy are a decent substitute.

I feel bad for you, the same way I feel bad for people who have never been to either coast in America and think they know what 'ethnic food' tastes like. I'd rather buy these than Chips Ahoy:they're about the same price and take >10 minutes to bake
